Job Description


Database Administrator (Modern Data Platforms) – Remote

We’re hiring a Database Administrator (DBA) to support a modern, cloud‑forward data platform environment. This is not a legacy DBA role — we’re looking for someone comfortable working across MongoDB, SQL platforms, and Databricks, with a strong operational and performance mindset.

This is a long‑term, remote contract opportunity supporting a large, stable enterprise environment.

📍 Location

  • 100% Remote (U.S.)
  • Preference for candidates within 3 hours of North Atlanta
  • EST work hours (8:00 AM–5:00 PM)

💼 Role Details

  • Employment Type: Contract / Staff Aug
  • Duration: 12 months minimum (extensions likely)
  • Compensation: $55–$65/hr
  • On‑Call: 1 week every 5
  • Visa Support: No sponsorship available

🚀 What You’ll Do

  • Provide hands‑on DBA support for modern database platforms:
  • MongoDB
  • SQL-based databases (MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL)
  • Databricks
  • Perform core DBA responsibilities:
  • Monitoring and maintenance
  • Performance tuning and troubleshooting
  • Operational database administration
  • Analyze and optimize SQL queries
  • Partner with Data Platform Engineering and Data Governance teams
  • Support platform modernization and stability initiatives
  • Ramp quickly on new tools and technologies as the environment evolves
  • Participate in knowledge sharing to reduce single points of failure

✅ Required Qualifications

  • Proven experience as a Database Administrator
  • Strong hands-on MongoDB administration experience
  • Experience supporting SQL databases (MS SQL, PostgreSQL, or similar)
  • Exposure to Databricks
  • Solid background in performance tuning and troubleshooting
  • Comfortable supporting multiple database platforms
  • Ability to adapt and learn new technologies quickly

⭐ Nice to Have

  • DB2 experience (not required)
  • Financial services or regulated industry experience
  • Experience working alongside platform or data engineering teams

🚫 What This Role Is Not

  • Not a DB2‑only or mainframe DBA role
  • Not a single‑platform specialization position
